Silent Reading, Nano Armstrong Aug 1923

Silent Reading, Nano Armstrong

Bachelors’ Theses

There are two distinct types of reading, oral reading and silent reading, and each type calls for a different ability on the part of the child. Therefore, it is very important that we recognize at the outset these two different abilities. Both kinds of reading are now taught, but by far the greater part of our time and attention is devoted to oral reading. When we consider that after leaving school most of our reading, in fact practically all of it , is of the silent reading type, it is easy to understand that there is error in this arrangement.

The Child's Bible, Leonidas Latimer Loofbourow Jan 1913

The Child's Bible, Leonidas Latimer Loofbourow

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Every lover of scripture takes a Bible for himself within our larger one. He may read the 60 books from a sense of duty or profit, but there are portions that he loves, which he reads time and again. Those are the Bible within the Bible that he has made for himself. Any Bible used long and effectively by one person has this story to tell. Torn edges, pencillngs, thumbmarks plentiful here, and large sections of clean pages there show what the owner may never have dreamed, that he has his personal edition of our common Bible. This is inevitable. …

Industrial Education In Massachusetts, Thomas Francis Sullivan Jun 1911

Industrial Education In Massachusetts, Thomas Francis Sullivan

Historical Dissertations & Theses

A study of the history of industrial education in Massachusetts is instructive and of peculiar interest for several reasons.

It has had a more varied history in the administration and control of this form of education than any other state, and exceeds all other states, with the possible exception of New York (in 1911), in the number of and the variety of types of industrial schools.
